It might not have sold well, but it was the first(and still only) car to offer a Miller Cycle engine. They're actually very good cars - I have a 96 Millenia S with the Miller Cycle and its got some spunk, and it rather comfortable. Could use more headroom, but that's about it.
"because they often graduate to HARMING CHILDREN!" Are you doubting that? Most serial killers begin by killing animals. Much like pyromaniacs are mostly blond haired, blue eyed males that wet their bed far too long. This sounds like a joke, but it's actually true.
The first gen was much better after the refresh and the dumping of the unreliable CVT transmission. The electric power steering was awful, though. My dad has one, and you can barely tell where the wheels are pointing. No road feedback at all.
I'm inclined to agree. I had a 98 Neon for a while, and it had pretty good handling. It was entertaining to drive in the summer, and it was great in the snow as well.
The same people shoot the UK version, as well as produce it, if I remember correctly. Don't know which episode you watched, but I have a feeling you were just looking for a reason to complain. Give it a chance. Watching one episode doesn't give you the full picture.
@Hand_O_Death: It was pretty good. The scenes in the real world aren't in 3d, but all the scenes on The Grid are. Some are better looking than others, but overall it's quite good.
@VetteWrecker: You obviously haven't played Medal of Honor. There is no level where you play as the Taliban. The only time you play as the enemy is in multiplayer, and they aren't called the Taliban in that. You can do the same in Call of Duty multiplayer, and many other games. Get over it, dude. It's just a game.
